The lone survivor of an enigmatic spaceship incident hasn't returned back home alone - hiding inside his body is a dangerous creature.
"Strong performances, strikingly spare production design and somber cinematography convey a sense of something important going on. That's no small achievement in what proves to be a creature feature with flair."--The Wall Street Journal.
"Abramenko maintains the film's finite appeal throughout, mostly thanks to a familiar aura and a charismatic lead performance by Oksana Akinshina, a fine surrogate for the tough-as-nails heroine Ellen Ripley."--Variety.
"The clever and nicely gory 'Sputnik' comes from Russia with love, slime, and an impressive lesson in efficient, low-cost pulp filmmaking."--Chicago Tribune.
"While 'Sputnik' doesn't make its substantial borrowings from other sci-fi pictures entirely new, it does juice them up enough to yield a genuinely scary and satisfying experience."--A.O. Scott.
DVD, wide screen (2.40:1); English DVS.

so let me see if I got this right..Some dude goes to outer space, and returns with a 'dangerous critter' in his stomach submitted by Tassos on November 18, 2021, 6:27pm Right? The critter sucks him dry, but also cures his cancer or something.

As the SNL CHurchlady would say, "Now isn't that speeeeeecial?"

I’m not clear why this is called “Sputnik”—unless it’s some sort of post-Soviet nostalgia trip or a clever marketing ploy—but it’s always a pleasure to watch a smart science fiction film (largely due to the dialogue and not playing to the groundlings).

And speaking of intelligence, apparently that’s on Putin for not being in the room when this movie was made.
